Donald Trump gave his first press conference as president-elect last Wednesday, so naturally it was a golden opportunity for Alec Baldwin to step back into his wig for another appearance on Saturday Night Live.

Baldwin as Trump stood before “reporters” in SNL’s take on the press conference and started off by bringing everyone up to speed.

“Let me answer the question that’s on everyone’s mind,” he said.

“Yes, this is really happening. I’m becoming president. On January 20, I, Donald J. Trump, will become the 45th president of the United States. Then two months later Mike Pence will become the 46th.”

Speaking of January 20, Baldwin addressed the talent (or lack thereof) lined up for the big day.

“Hold on to your tits and bits because we have got Three Doors Down, Jackie What’s-her-face from America’s Got Talent, and the one Rockette with the least money in her savings,” he said.

And don’t worry, there are also A-list celebrities in the line-up, including Angelina Jolie, Ryan Gosling, and Jennifer Lawrence ... “courtesy of Madame Tussauds”, the wax museum, he said.

Of course, Baldwin had to field questions about the unverified Russian dossier that was released this week, and staunchly denied the report’s claim about “golden showers”.

“It didn’t happen and it wasn’t as cool as it sounds,” he told the press.

He tried to steer away from “pee pee party” jokes to the “thick stream of jobs” he said he’ll bring into the country.

“This country will literally be showered with jobs,” Baldwin said.

In a practice that’s almost become routine, Trump quickly fired back at NBC and Saturday Night Live.

The President-elect's Twitter use can have an impact on the share market.

“NBCNews is bad but Saturday Night Live is the worst of NBC. Not funny, cast is terrible, always a complete hit job. Really bad television,” Trump tweeted.

Trump has complained about Baldwin’s SNL appearances on Twitter. He said last month that “the Baldwin impersonation just can’t get any worse”.

Baldwin may be taking his Trump act on the road.

The 58-year-old actor said he was in discussions with other venues for his impression of the president-elect besides Saturday Night Live.

Baldwin has played Trump on SNL since last year. He said he would continue to play Trump on the late-night comedy show while also looking for other opportunities to spoof the incoming Republican president.

Baldwin said he was “not really influencing anybody’s political opinions”. But he said playing Trump was “one of the most fun things” he had ever done.
